seda(s) Explanation: Removi porque realmente estava errado. choke …the inedible mass of silky fibres at the centre of a globe artichoke…ALCACHOFRA A parte da alcachofra que se consome é a flor, considerada um dos legumes mais requintados e saborosos. A alcachofra tem cinco partes: a ponta das folhas, não comestível; as "sedas', que também não se come; o "coração", ou fundo, que é comestível, sendo a parte mais suculenta; a base das folhas, carnuda e também comestível; e o talo que, depois de limpo (sem as fibras), pode ser usado em sopas e saladas. |

pequenas flores (não amadurecidas) da alcachofra Explanation: Massas de pequenas flores ou "chokes" não sáo comestíveis quando amadurecidas. The Globe Artichoke (Cynara cardunculus) is a perennial thistle originating in southern Europe around the Mediterranean. It grows to 1.5-2 m tall, with arching, deeply lobed, silvery glaucous-green leaves 50–82 cm long. The flowers develop in a large head from an edible bud about 8–15 cm diameter with numerous triangular scales; the individual florets are purple. The edible portion of the buds consists primarily of the fleshy lower portions of the involucral bracts and the base, known as the "heart"; the mass of immature florets in the center of the bud is called the "choke". These are inedible in older larger flowers. www.tititudorancea.com/z/artichoke.htm |

fibras do miolo da alcachofra Explanation: Se entendi bem, com um pouco de inferência, acho que o enunciado quer dizer que: 1. O corte deve ser feito onde começam as fibras do miolo da alcachofra... OU 2. O corte deve ser feito na altura das pontas das fibras do miolo da alcachofra... Na opção (2), presumo que o sujeito está a especificar a altura exata em que se deve cortar as folhas do invólucro da alcachofra quando a preparamos para comer. Os "começos" das fibras seriam as pontas, isto é, as extremidades livres (superiores). |
